The Body, the Blood, the Machine, the Thermals' third album, came out on Sub Pop on August 22, 2006, with Fugazi's Brendan Canty producing, and it's a concept record with its fists up. By the band's own account, it follows a young couple on the run from a United States ruled by fascist faux-Christians.
The Portland, Oregon band built around Hutch Harris and Kathy Foster came up on lo-fi and had always leaned on political and religious imagery, and here that streak becomes the whole story. It's loud, buzzing and urgent, a protest record dressed up in the language of scripture, and "Here's Your Future" is its rallying cry.
